Gene locus:

11q23.3

Protein name:

Cas-Br-M (murine) ecotropic retroviral transforming sequence

Protein Size:

906 amino acids; about 100 kDa

Function:

CBL encodes a protein with negative regulatory activity in protein tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling pathways; CBL may inhibit cell growth resulting from activation of the EGF, PDGF and CSF1 receptors by marking these receptors for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation.

Cancer-related alterations:

Germinal alterations: the fragile site FRA11B has been localized to a stretch of CCG trinucleotides found in the 5' part of the CBL gene and has been involved in the pathogenesis of a proportion of inherited Jacobsen syndroms which have a del(11)(q23qter) telomeric of an expansion of the stretch of CCG triplets

Sporadic alteration: an extension of an ATG trinucleotide repeat with no translation shift was detected in the coding region of CBL in 9% of the genetically unstable sporadic gastrointestinal tumors,

Somatic mutations have been found in some haematopoietic/lymphoid tissue and lung cancers. Most mutations are “substitution missense” and are related to a protein region located between amino acids 360 and 460.
